REMEMBER - SAFETY FIRST
This satellite receiver has been designed and built to provide years of trouble-free
I
service. The receiver has been manufactured to meet international safety standards
but, as with any electrical equipment, you must take care if you want to obtain the best
results and operate your receiver safely.
We recommend that your satellite system be installed by a qualified satellite TV
installation engineer; this manual does, however, contain instructions on how to
install your receiver in case you wish to do this yourself.
To obtain the best results from your receiver, it is important that you read this manual
completely, especially the safety instructions below.
SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
• Ensure that all electrical connections are properly made in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions (see below - Connection to the Mains Supply).
TO AVOID THE RISK OF A FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK:
• DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER OF THE UNIT WITHOUT FIRST
DISCONNECTING THE RECEIVER FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY.
• NEVER ALLOW ANYONE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, TO PUSH ANYTHING
INTO HOLES, SLOTS OR ANY OTHER OPENING IN THE CASE.
• Do not obstruct the receiver's ventilation slots; never stand the receiver on soft
furnishings or carpets.
• Do not use or store the receiver in excessively hot, cold, damp or dusty conditions.
• Always put the receiver into standby mode when it is not in use.
• If you have any doubts about the installation, operation or safety of the receiver,
please consult your dealer.
J
CONNECTION TO THE MAINS SUPPLY
This apparatus operates within the range of 220-240 V AC, 50 Hz mains supplies.
DO NOT CONNECT IT TO DC MAINS. The lead is supplied terminated at one end
with a connector to be inserted into the mains input socket on the rear panel of the
apparatus.
MAINS LEAD PLUG CONNECTIONS (UK AND EIRE)
The mains lead supplied may or may not have a non-rewireable (moulded) plug.
Please see the section marked with an asterisk (*) if the supplied mains lead does not
have a non-rewireable plug fitted.
Mains leads fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporate a fuse, the value
of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced,
an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating, marked
thus:
If the fuse cover is detachable always refit the cover after replacing the fuse. NEVER
use the plug with the fuse cover omitted.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets it should be cut off, after having
first removed the fuse, and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If this new plug
contains afuse its value should be the same as that removed from the non-rewireable
plug.
The severed plug must be destroyed immediately to avoid the possible shock hazard
should it be inserted into a 13 A socket elsewhere.
*IF YOU NEED TO FIT A MAINS PLUG THEN FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
GIVEN BELOW:
Important: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BLUE - Neutral (N) BROWN - Live (L)
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
J
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N
or coloured BLUE or BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter
L or coloured BROWN or RED.
On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or coloured
GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the
sheath of the lead; not simply over the two wires.
A fused plug must be fitted with a 3 A fuse complying with BS 1362. If you are using
a non-fused plug, an external fuse must not exceed 5 A.
MAINS LEAD PLUG CONNECTIONS (CONTINENTAL EUROPE)
The mains lead is supplied already fitted with a 2-pin moulded plug. This mains lead
must not be used in the UK.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.
INTRODUCTION TO SATELLITE TELEVISION
Your satellite system consists of several component parts, some of which are
optional. As a minimum it will comprise the following items:
• A dish antenna. This is outside your house and it contains the low noise block
converter (LNC). The LNC converts the satellite signal from its incoming fre
quency of around 11 GHz to a signal at about 1 GHz. This lower frequency signal
then passes through a cable to your satellite receiver indoors.
• The satellite receiver. This receives the satellite transmissions and allows you
to set up and select the satellite programmes you wish to watch. Several pieces
of equipment can be connected to your receiver, but only your television is
essential. The front panel of your receiver contains push-buttons (under the
cover) which allow you to bring your receiver out of standby mode and to select
the programmes, but the handset allows you much greater control.
• The television. So that you can view the transmissions, one of the TV channels
needs to be allocated to satellite reception.
• The handset. This allows you to operate your satellite receiver and set up all the
required parameters. Some of these operations are carried out using a system of
menus (lists) which are displayed on your TV screen.
You can enhance your satellite system by connecting additional components
such as:
• A video recorder (VCR). This allows you to record satellite transmissions. You
may also wish to use the receiver's Timer Menu in conjunction with your VCR to
record programmes while you are out.
• Stereo equipment. Your satellite receiver is fitted with the PANDA 1™ noise
reduction system to enhance its audio performance. PANDA 1 is a trademark of
Wegener Communications Inc. To get the maximum performance from your
receiver, you can connect it to a stereo TV or a stereo amplifier.
• A decoder. You can connect an external decoder to the receiver via a rear panel
SCART socket. With a decoder you are able to receive satellite transmissions
which have been scrambled, providing you have paid a subscription.
• A dish positioner. You may have a dish antenna which is capable of being
moved around to receive transmissions from different satellites. A compatible
dish positioner can be connected to your receiver via the DECODER SCART
connector. You can still also connect an external decoder.

FRONT PANEL OPERATION
The receiver is designed to be operated with your handset. Without it, you cannot display the menus or select options
on them. You can put the receiver in and out of standby mode by pressing the (!) button. You can also browse through
the programmes, one at a time, by pressing the + button (which increments the programme number by one) or the button (which decrements the number).
J
INTRODUCTION
Ori'Screen Menus
You can operate this receiver very easily using a simple menu structure which you
access by pressing the MENU key on the handset. The whole structure and each
menu are described in detail in this manual.
Menu Languages
This product has been designed so that you can have the on-screen menus in English
or German. If, when you press the MENU key to enterthe menu system, you find that
the menus are not in your desired language, press the 8 key, then the 7 key and finally
press either the blue + or the red - on the rocker key directly below the MENU key. This
will cause the menu language to change.
Programmes
You can set up 199 “programmes”, each programme containing information about a
particular satellite channel, such as its name, frequency etc. When it is new, your
receiver has already been programmed with most of the satellite channels. See the
list supplied separately. Using the Programme Edit and Programme Install Menus you
can alter the programmes and set up new programmes for additional satellite
transmissions that you tune in to.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
We recommend that a qualified satellite TV installation engineer carries out the
installation of your satellite system. If, however, you install it yourself, proceed as
follows:
INTRODUCTION
J
Connecting Up
Do not plug your receiver into the mains straight away.
Refer to the installation procedures on page 22 to make all the necessary connections
and then plug the receiver into the mains.
Tuning In
Refer to the UHF Tuning section overleaf, and make all the necessary adjustments
until the Global Settings Menu appears on your TV screen.
Antenna and LNC Settings
At the Global Settings Menu, press the 3 key to select the Antenna Settings Menu.
Refer to the procedures starting on page 20 to set up your receiver to be compatible
with your antenna and its LNC.
Viewing Programmes
When you have finished setting up, abandon the menu by pressing the OFF key. If you
have installed your receiver successfully, you can now view all the programmes which
have been pre-programmed into it at the factory.
Handset Overview
Before you start to alter the programmes or set up new ones, we recommend that you
learn howto select the existing programmes and familiarise yourself with the handset
keys (see also overleaf).
Important:
To set up your handset so that it controls only your satellite receiver, press the
SAT key once.
To set up your handset so that it controls only a PHILIPS TV set, press the TV
key once.
At any time you can use the VCR keys on your handset to control a PHILIPS VCR.

Philips batteries with the
markings “green LINE”,
“green ALKALINE” or
“EXTRA” need not be given
back. They are extremely
low in pollutants and
environmentally friendly
and can therefore be
disposed of with the
household rubbish.
UHF TUNING (If Receiver is Connected to TV Using Coaxial Cable)
After the equipment has been installed, you will need to tune in your receiver to a
I
particular TV channel if it is connected to the TV using coaxial cable. If it is connected
using the SCART connector this will not be necessary.
The receiver is shipped with the channel number set to 38 PAL G, therefore channel
□TV/VCR FINE TUNE
38 is an appropriate TV channel to choose. Channel 38 PAL G may, however, already
be assigned to something else (e.g. your VCR), in which case you must set your TV
to a different channel number and adjust your receiver accordingly. The TV channel
that you choose must be clear of any other broadcasting.
Foliow the instructions in your TV manual to set your TV to the required channel
number (in the range 21 to 69) and to assign this channel number to a specific numeric
key on your TV handset.
On your satellite receiver handset, press the MENU key followed by the 8 key to put
the receiver into UHF tuning mode.
You will see the channel number, preceded by the letter C, on the front panel of the
satellite receiver.
If you set your TV to channel 38 PAL G, you will see the Global Settings Menu on the
screen and your receiver is now tuned in to TV channel 38 PAL G.
If you did not set your TV to channel 38 PAL G, it is unlikely that you will be able to see
the Global Settings Menu on the screen initially, this will appear as tuning progresses.
To tune in, press the blue + key or the red - key to go through the channel numbers
one at a time until you can see a good quality picture of the Global Settings Menu on
the screen. Your chosen TV channel number should be visible in iine 1 of the menu.
You can also fine tune at the menu, but as this feature is not often required, it is described,
along with the other options in the Global Settings Menu, on page 19 of this manual.
J
HANDSET OPERATION
The handset is shown right, on page 7. The keys in the top half of the handset are used
to select both satellite TV programmes and terrestriai programmes on a Philips TV and
to switch between terrestrial and satellite reception.
The four keys in the centre, labelled MENU, OFF, f~+1 and the rocker key with the red
- and the blue +, are used to operate the menu system for satellite TV. They are
described in detail starting on page 8.
The handset works by sending an infra-red beam to your receiver, therefore be sure
to point it towards the infra-red receive window on the front of the receiver. Do not place
any objects which may block the beam between the window and the handset.
These instructions assume that all the equipment has been properly installed and
powered on. Consult the Installation section on page 22 of this manual.
NOTE: Whan you have to press several keys in succession, you must press each
successive key within a certain (short) time, otherwise the receiver will revert to normal
viewing mode.
CHANGING THE BATTERIES
The handset runs from two LR03 (AAA or UM4) batteries located under a cover on the
underside of the handset. These batteries will need replacing from time to time. You
should do this as soon as the handset fails to operate from the normal viewing distance.
Insert your fingernails or other thin object along the left hand edge of the battery cover
and lever the cover off. Remove the old batteries and put in the new ones in the
orientation shown in the figure. Snap the cover back into position.
NOTE: Never leave flat batteries in the handset, as they may leak and corrode the
metal contacts.
SELECTING PROGRAMMES
When you first power on your receiver it will be in standby mode. To bring it out of
standby mode press the P+ or P- key or one of the numeric keys 0 to 9. A programme
will then appear on the screen. Whether this programme is a terrestrial or satellite
programme depends on the way your TV and satellite receiver are connected together
and on the programme you were last viewing, as described below.
Selecting Satellite Programmes with SCART Interconnection
If your satellite receiver and TV are interconnected by a SCART cable, and providing
your TV recognises pin 8 of the SCART connector, then when you bring the receiver
out of standby a satellite programme wili be automaticaliy displayed on the TV screen.
You can then change satellite programme as described opposite.
J
Selecting Satellite Programmes with Coaxial Interconnection
If your satellite receiver and TV are interconnected by a coaxial cable, then when you
bring the receiver out of standby, you will get a satellite programme displayed on the
TV screen if you had been watching satellite TV when you last put the receiver into
standby and have not, in the meantime, been watching terrestriai TV. You can then
change programme as described below.
If the last programme you were watching before bringing the receiver out of standby
was a terrestrial TV programme, then a terrestrial TV programme will be displayed
when you bring the satellite receiver out of standby. To get satellite TV, press the
numeric key on yourTV handset which you have assigned to satellite TV. (For a Philips
TV you need to press the TV key on this handset, followed by the numeric key which
you have assigned to satellite TV.) Finally, press the SAT key at the top of your
handset to make the handset suitable for selecting satellite programmes. You can
then change programme as described below.
Changing Satellite Programme
You can browse through the programmes one at a time by pressing the P+ or P- key. The
P+ key increments the programme number by one; the P- key decrements it by one. There
is a ‘Vvrap" at both ends, e.g. pressing the P+ key at programme 199 gives programme 1.
You can also key in the programme number directly using the numeric keys. Press the
numeric key for the first digit of your required programme number. You will see that
number, followed by a cursor, displayed at the top of the screen. While the cursor is
still displayed, key in the second digit of your required programme number. The
second digit, again followed by a cursor, appears on the screen. While the cursor is
still displayed, key in the third digit of your required programme number.
Example: Keying in to select programme number 134.
Pressthe 1 key. 1-appears on the screen. Immediately press the 3 key. 13-appears
on the screen. Immediately press the 4 key. 134 appears on the screen and
programme number 134 is thereby selected.
If your programme number has only one (or two) digits then do nothing when the first
(or second) cursor appears. After a short time the cursor will disappear and you will,
therefore, have selected your required one (or two) digit number.
Switching Between Terrestrial and Satellite Reception
If your receiver is connected to yourTV using a SCART lead, then you will be able to
switch between terrestrial and satellite reception providing your TV recognises pin 8
of the SCART socket.
Press the TV/SAT key to toggle between terrestrial and satellite reception.

CHANGING THE AUDIO MODE
Some audio modes provide commentary in different languages; some provide
satellite radio stations. There are two ways of changing a programme's audio mode.
One way is to use the on-screen menu (the Audio Settings Menu - see page 18). At
this menu the audio mode can also be customised to give a Mono V or Stereo V mode.
The second way is to use the i-ii key on the handset. Press this key to select the
next audio mode from the preset modes Mono 1 to 9 or Stereo A to D (see the list in
the specification on page 26). If the programme had a customised audio mode, this
will remain as one of the available audio modes as you press the i-ii key to step
through the modes in turn.
NOTE: You cannot use the i-ii key within the menu structure.
DISPLAYING THE PROGRAMME STATUS
The programme status is the programme number and name (if it is named), and this
can be displayed at the top of the TV screen for approximately 4 seconds. If the
receiver's clock has been set, the time is also displayed at the bottom of the screen.
To display the programme status, press the C3 key.
NOTE: If the programme has not been given a name then only the programme number
will be displayed. If the receiver's clock has not been set, a flashing time will appear
on the bottom of the screen.
Press the I +l key twice to display the programme status permanently.
The programme name will be permanently displayed in the top right hand corner of
the screen; for programmes which have not been named, no status information will
be displayed.

SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER
NOTE: You can use the sleep timer even if the receiver's clock has not been set.
J
Setting the sleep timer is a useful way to switch off your receiver at a later time and
is a handy method to use when you instantly record with your VCR.
Press the 9 key.
The menu shown left will appear on the screen. The time of the receiver's clock is
displayed under the menu title and this will be flashing if it has not been set since the
receiver was powered up - see page 21 - Set Clock Menu. Even if the clock has not
been set, its current value will increment every second and the receiver assumes that
this is the actual time.
The stop time displayed when you first enter the menu is the receiver's current time
plus 30 minutes. If you want the receiver to switch off after a length of time other than
30 minutes, press the + key to increase the stop time by 15 minutes for each press.
Press the - key to decrease the stop time by 15 minutes for each key press. Press the
9 key to store this sleep timer information.
The message SLEEP TIMER ON will be displayed briefly. The programme you were
viewing will remain on the screen until the receiver's clock reaches the same value as
the stop time you set, then the receiver will go into standby mode. While the sleep timer
is set, the timer display (the letter t - see left) on the receiver's front panel will be lit.
If you wish to leave the Sleep Timer Menu before storing, press the OFF key.
NOTE: When the receiver's sleep timer has been set, all handset commands will be
ignored (except that pressing the key will display the stop time on the screen).
If you want to return to normal operation before the stop time, press the ^ key again.
The message SLEEP TIMER OFF will appear briefly on the screen.
The sleep timer can be used to instantly record in conjunction with your VCR.
Start recording with your VCR, then carry out the instructions above to setthe stop time
for the receiver.
You will need to set your VCR to stop recording at the same stop time, otherwise it will
continue to record a blank (or distorted and noisy) screen after the receiver has gone
into standby mode. For further information on recording satellite programmes, see the
Timer Menu section on page 12.

ON-SCFIEEN MENU OPERATION
Many of the functions of your receiver can be set up using on-screen menus, most of
which are contained in the menu structure spreading out from the Main Menu as
shown on the next page. The Main Menu is also shown left.
This short section describes the general features of the menu system. The subse
quent sections then give a detailed description of each menu in turn. The Global
Settings Menu is described last, because, if, as we recommend, a qualified satellite
TV installation engineer has installed your satellite system, then he/she will have used
this menu to set up the system parameters. You should not, therefore, need to use it
unless you install the system yourself, add to it or need to correct any information in
this menu which has be altered from its correct value. You may have difficulty using
the other menus if the Global Settings Menu contains the wrong values.
Menu Background
Most of the menus are displayed on a plain, coloured background, but some (those
where you need to see the programme or picture quality) are displayed on top of the
current programme. In the LNC Installation Menu and at the CONTRAST option of the
Global Settings Menu, you may need to change programme. To do this, use the P+
or P- key.
Sometimes, when there is a distorted picture on the screen, the menu may be difficult
to read. In such cases press the CD key to give a plain coloured background to the
menu. Press the (3) key again to remove the plain background.
Menu Languages
This product has been designed so that you can have the on-screen menus in English
or German. If, when you press the MENU key to enter the menu system, you find that
the menus are not in your desired language, press the 8 key, then the 7 key and finally
press either the blue + or the red - on the rocker key directly below the MENU key.
This will cause the menu language to change.
